“Maria was fantastic! Both cats were very good when I came back and everything was so clean and in-order when I got back. I will book with her again whenever I go away, for sure. I will leave a $20 tip . Worth every penny and more.”
“Keerie took excellent care of our kitties while we were on vacation. I’m so thankful they were in good hands and got plenty of treats and pets. I will absolutely use Keerie again during our next trip. I’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Laura was great taking care of my shy guy! She even got him to play with his favorite toys! It was a huge sigh of relief to know that my fur baby was being taken care of while I was out of town!”
“Rebekah was great. We had some problems with our electric locks so she had to go to our our house twice the first day. She worked through the issue with us. Sent great pics and updates for every drop in. We knew the cats were being well taken care of. We will ask for her help again in the future.”
“1000000/10 stars! Tasha is a fantastic pet sitter! She’s been my go to pet sitter for years and always has shown my cats such loving care and attention like no one else! (Pet illness/death tw) Recently, my other cat started dealing with various illnesses and I needed help giving her her medicine while my roommate was out of town. I hired Tasha to help me give her medicine every day of the week. My week with my cat was so lovely and that time was so precious to me. Soon after that week, I felt in my heart that it was time to help my cat cross the rainbow bridge. I can’t even begin to fully express how much Tasha’s help meant to me that week. If it wasn’t for Tasha’s help, I wouldn’t have had that extra time to spend with my cat while she was well and that means absolutely everything to me. Do yourself a favor and hire Tasha to watch your fur babies! :)”
About: Having a pet of my own with diabetes set me on a path to learn more and start a career toward helping animals that may need more care than others. I am a helper by trade and love spending time with pets so I hope I can apply my years of dedication and adoration for animals by helping take care of yours when you need assistance. I work as a general handyman and take classes toward veterinary technician and looking to help others with my spare time. Walking dogs is a passion of mine and, depending on the owner's request, can keep it local or take them to a desired park or hiking path. I walk daily on my own so a few extra paws would be good for me and the pooch! My cats are indoor/outdoor so they roam but stay close to the property. I do not leave them out alone. Inside we play a bit until they get bored, listen to music, and of course they nap...mostly they nap... When I have had dogs in the past, they get outside time to enjoy the sunshine and breeze and we're never left out in bad weather conditions. They've always had a safe and comfortable place inside the home.
“Took great care of my cat (Coco) and turtle (Myrtle). Even went to extra efforts to make sure Coco got her meds in a timely manner. I'll be hiring Nathan again in the near future!”
“I've used Willow consistently to care for my cats for the past year when I travel and I couldn't be happier! Lots of pictures every day and I never worry that they're being taken care of with all the time and attention I could ask for. You won't find anyone better!”
“Taylor was so great with my cat! My cat is usually very scared around new people, but she warmed up to Taylor right away. It was nice to no worry about her while I was away for a little while. Thanks!”
“We are beyond pleased with the care and attention Madylon gave to our cat. She put our little Bells, normally a very skittish cat, at ease from the first visit. Highly recommend Madylon and will seek her out anytime we are on vacation. Thank you Madylon for taking wonderful care of our Bell!”
“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.
About: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have developed a strong understanding of their unique needs, personalities, and health requirements. I have successfully managed feeding schedules, grooming routines, and administered medications when necessary. My experience also includes providing companionship and stimulating playtime to ensure both physical and mental well-being. I am skilled in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and I am quick to respond to any medical or emergency situations. Growing up with multiple dogs, cats and horses, I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment. In my family, pets ARE family and at holiday gatherings pets frequently outnumber people! Whether it’s walking or cuddling, I am committed to making your pet feel as loved as all of ours! I am working as a nursing assistant whenever I pick up. I have plenty of time take care of animals, either to babysit them or just a visit. I live on an acre lot on a quiet, dead end street. Woods in the back and trails behind that to walk on for miles. I have a friendly 12 year old dog who loves to keep company to other pups.
